Release id #139885 : Captain Dynamo +11D [crazy hack]
i wonder what exactly constitutes a "crazy hack" and why releases that appear to be regular cracks (according to csdb terms of course) - with the only exception that they dont seem to follow certain "scene rules" (which mind you, are not, and never have been, relevant for csdb) are tagged as such. if i start calling my release "awesome hack" in my intros, will they get tagged as such too? :) |

What Thunderblade said is the best solution. Seeing [crazy hack] in the main title is not esthetically pleasing. Many feel this way. Using the A.K.A. is ideal because it preserves how the entry author feels about the release. It also gives a nice alternative to the entry name. |

Same goes for demos then: Round brackets for unofficial tags.

I thought e.g. [pal/ntsc] is one. |

Vinny started using the crazy hack label when people told him he was using the numbering system wrong. They are "crazy" because of the unusual things the modes do to the code.
Then when he was told his releases were not worthy of being part of the scene, he repeatedly asked for them not to be uploaded here.
The releases keep being uploaded.
So, either his releases are not good enough for here, in which case you don't need to worry about what they are called.
Or you keep the name it was released under to "preserve the integrity of the database".
Oh, and Vinny's cracks often have the advantage of being able to turn invulnerability or extras on & off during the game. |
